         I find some of the ways in which Chinese parents show love for their children rather
    surprising.Obviously there are some pretty big differences between our behavior and theirs
    in this respect.Most Chinese children seem to get whatever they want,from ice creams,sweets
    and toys to endless attention from the adults around them.Is this a sort of spoiling or love?I
    wonder.
         Most westerners would think it is a sort of spoiling rather than love.We think love means
    educating your children and bringing them up to lead an independent life.That includes learning
    to accept the fact that he can't get everything he wants.As an adult,he will not always get the
    quite expensive car he hunts for;she will not always manage to acquire the beautiful dress
    she longs for.So we try to teach our children early to cope with the disappointment of not
    getting what they want.
         I find too much such kind of love for the children can actually spoil them.To my surprise,it
    seems that the life of a Chinese child is rather hard.Without doubt,the child is the very center
    of a whole circle of adults,but on the other hand he or she is also expected to start studying
    according to adults' wishes.Many children of my son's age take piano lessons,painting classes
    and even English lessons.It looks as if Chinese adults think that just playing without learning
    anything is a waste of time.So in this respect our children appear spoiled,just because they
    are allowed to play.But without this sort of play how can Western children develop such free
    and rich imaginations?In fact the connection between this imagination and the creativity is so
    important in the children' s future life.
    1.In which way do most Chinese children seem to be spoiled?
    A.They can be supported by their parents.
    B.They can play whenever they want.
    C.They need not behave themselves.
    D.Their demands can always be satisfied.
    2.In the author's opinion,the life of a Chinese child is________.
    A.rather hard  
    B.rather easy  
    C.independent 
    D.colorful
    3.The author thinks Western children appear spoiled because______.
    A.they can manage time by themselves
    B.they can have the freedom to play
    C.they can take piano lessons
    D.they may have expensive toys
    4.The best title of the passage could be________.
    A.Chinese children's early education
    B.How to develop kids' imagination
    C.What is the real love for children
    D.The imagination and creativity

         A friend of mine,in response to a conversation we were having about the injustices of life,
    asked me the question,"Who said life was going to be fair,or that it was even meant to be fair
    ?" Her question was a good one.It reminded me of something I  was taught as a youngster:life
    isn't fair.It's a disappointment,but it's absolutely true.One of the mistakes many of us make is
    that we feel sorry for ourselves,or for others,thinking that life should be fair,or that someday
    it will be.It's not and it won't be.
         One of the nice things about surrendering (屈从) to the fact that life isn't fair is that it keeps
    us from feeling sorry for ourselves by encouraging us to do the very best we can with what we
    have.We know it's not "life's job" to make everything perfect:it's our own challenge.Surrendering
    to this fact also keeps us from feeling sorry for others because we are reminded that everyone is
    dealt a different hand;everyone has unique strengths and problems in the process of growing up,
    facing the reality and making decisions;and everyone has those times that they feel unfairly treated.
         The fact that life isn't fair doesn't mean we shouldn't do everything in our power to improve our
    own lives or the world as a whole.To the contrary,it suggests that we should.When we don't recognize
    or admit that life isn't fair,we tend to feel pity for others and for ourselves.Pity,of course,is a selfdefeating
    emotion that does nothing for anyone,except to make everyone feel worse than they already do.When
    we do recognize that life isn't fair,however,we feel compassion (热情) for others and for ourselves.And
    compassion is a heartfelt emotion that delivers lovingkindness to everyone it touches.The next time you
    find yourself thinking about the injustices of the world,try reminding yourself of this very basic fact.You
    may be surprised that it can make you out of selfpity and into helpful action.
    1.The writer thought of his friend's question as a good one because ________.
    A.he also wanted to know who held such an opinion
    B.it made him recall something during his childhood
    C.like his friend,he also thought life was unfair
    D.he learned something from the question as a youngster
    2.The second paragraph of the passage mainly tells us that ________.
    A.it's nice to accept the injustice of life
    B.it's nice to surrender to life
    C.we should not feel sorry for everything
    D.we should not surrender to life
    3.From the passage,we can learn that the author's attitude to life is ________.
    A.negative  
    B.positive  
    C.selfpity  
    D.indifferent
    4.Which of the following could be the best title of the text?
    A.A Helpful Action:Try to Feel Compassion
    B.A Good Question:Why Life Isn't Fair
    C.Do Our Best to Improve Ourselves
    D.Surrender to the Fact That Life Isn't Fair

         Flying across the globe,whether on business or for leisure,is usually effortless-you just have to
    book your ticket,pack your bags and show up at the airport with your passport.You board the
    plane and several cocktails and movies later,you arrive at your destination.People are becoming
    more aware of their smart travel.Here are some tips on how to be a clever traveler.
    Easy checkin
         Avoid the queue and check yourself in by using the MAS Web CheckIn (malaysiaairlines.
    com) in the comfort of your own home or office.Passengers can now check in online anytime
    from 24 hours to 90 minutes ahead of the scheduled departure time (出发时间).This is
    available for flights departing from all MAS stations-except Paris,Kunming,Xiamen and Bandar
    Seri Begawan-to all MAS destinations.You can even select preferred seats online.
    Bag hygiene (卫生)
         No,we're not talking about the cleanliness of your bags!It's aviation talk for a bag that doesn't
    carry any old baggage tags (标签) with barcodes (条码) that could confuse the baggage sensor
    (探测装置).
    If you find yourself arriving in Sydney while your bag lands in Tokyo,it could be because of your
    old baggage tag.Another reason why bags go missing could be the printing quality of the barcodes;
    bags are misdirected because the sensors can't read the codes correctly.
    Less is more
         Most airports around the world now set a weight limit of 32kg per piece of baggage.This will not
    only help protect the airline workers' health,it will also be easier for you to carry your bags around.
    Avoid packing dangerous goods or placing valuables inside your checkin luggage.Ensure that locks
    are properly secured as a lot of baggage locks are found caught between the conveyor belts.
    Smaller and softer bags are usually placed inside a tray at checkin to protect the locks from contact
    with the conveyor belt.
    1.The passage mainly tends to tell us how to travel________.
    A.in a comfortable way  
    B.in a fashionable way
    C.in a neat and orderly way  
    D.in a cheap and safe way
    2.From the passage,we can know that passengers________.
    A.can check in without going to the airport
    B.have to check in 24 hours earlier
    C.are required to check in on the MAS Web
    D.can select their favorite seats when getting aboard
    3.What are the reasons why the baggage is often missing according to the passage?
    a.The bags are too old and dirty.
    b.The sensors can't read the barcodes correctly.
    c.The old tag is still on your bag.
    d.The bags are too heavy to check in.
    A.a;b  B.b;c  C.c;d  D.b;d
    4.Judging from the writing style of the passage,it is________.
    A.a piece of advertisement
    B.a science report
    C.a passage for professional reading
    D.a passage from a magazine

         The evidence for harmony may not be obvious in some families.But it seems that four out 
    of five young people now get on with their parents,which is the opposite of the popularly held
    image of unhappy teenagers locked in their room after endless family quarrels.
         An important new study into teenage attitudes surprisingly shows that their family life is more
    harmonious than it has ever been in the past."We were surprised by just how positive today's
    young people seem to be about their families,"said one member of the research team."They're
    expected to be rebellious (叛逆的) and selfish but actually they have other things on their minds;
    they want a car and material goods,and they worry about whether school is serving them well.
    There's more negotiation (商议) and discussion between parents and children,and children expect
    to take part in the family decisionmaking process.They don't want to rock the boat."
         So it seems that this generation of parents is much more likely than parents of 30 years ago to
    treat their children as friends."My parents are happy to discuss things with me and willing to listen
    to me," says 17yearold Daniel Lazall."I always tell them when I'm going out clubbing.As long as
    they know what I'm doing,they're fine with it." Susan Crome,who is now 21,agrees."Looking back
    on the last 10 years,there was a lot of what you could call negotiation.For example,as long as I'd
    done all my homework,I could go out on a Saturday night.But I think my grandparents were a lot
    stricter with my parents than that."
         Maybe this positive view of family life should not be unexpected.It is possible that the idea of
    teenage rebellion is not rooted in real facts.A researcher comments,"Our surprise that teenagers
    say they get along well with their parents comes because of a brief period in our social history
    when teenagers were regarded as different beings.But that idea of rebelling and breaking away
    from their parents really happened during the 1960s when everyone rebelled.The normal situation
    throughout history has been a smooth change from helping out with the family business to taking it
    over."
    1.What is the popular images of teenagers today?
    A.They worry about school.
    B.They dislike living with their parents.
    C.They have to be locked in to avoid troubles.
    D.They quarrel a lot with other family members.
    2.The study shows that teenagers don't want to________.
    A.share family responsibility
    B.cause trouble in their families
    C.go boating with their family
    D.make family decisions
    3.Compared with parents of 30 years ago,today's parents________.
    A.go to clubs more often with their children
    B.are much stricter with their children
    C.careless about their children's life
    D.give their children more freedom

    A.How a good teacher acts in class
    B.Acting:natural expression of fixed words and movements
    C.Teaching:a studentcentered creative process
    D.Similarities between teaching and acting
    E.Differences between teaching and acting
    F.A good teacher,not necessarily a good actor



    1.              
    To be a good teacher,you need some of the gifts of a good actor:you must be able to hold
    the attention and interest of your audience; you must be a clear speaker,with a good,
    strong,pleasing voice which is fully under your control;and you must be able to act what
    you are teaching in order to make its meaning clear.
    2.                
    Watch a good teacher,and you will see that he does not sit unmoved before his class:he
    stands the whole time he is teaching; he walks about,using his arms,his hands and fingers
    to help him in his explanations,and his face to express feeling.Listen to him,and you will
    hear the loudness,the quality and the musical note if his voice always changes according
    to what he is talking about.
    3.                 
    The fact that a good teacher has some of the gifts of a good actor doesn't mean that he
    will indeed be able to act well on the stage,for there are very important differences
    between the teacher's work and the actor's.The actor has to speak words which he has
    learnt by heart; he has to repeat exactly the same words each time he plays a certain part,
    and even his movements and the ways in which he uses his voice are usually fixed beforehand.
    What he has to do is to make all these carefully learnt words and actions seem natural on the
    stage.
    4.                  
    A good teacher works in quite a different way.His audience takes an active part in his play:they
    ask questions,they obey orders,and if they don't understand something,they say so.The teacher
    therefore has to suit his act to the needs of his audience.He cannot learn his part by heart,but
    must invent it as he goes along.
    5.                   
    As a good teacher presently,you must take your audience as your friends,take care of them,help
    them and give them enough freedom and space.I have known many teachers who are fine actors
    in class but are unable to take part in a stage play because their brains can't keep discipline:they
    cannot keep strictly to what another has written.
